- Abstract in English : People benefit from interaction with the natural environment throughout their life. Simply stated, our involvement with nature is good for our physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. The fulfilment of this concept is the basis for developing a project to create positive outdoor environments for individuals with Alzheimer'’ decease. Because the number of people with this disease is growing, the outdoor environment and its potential for positive support for the demented older adult, as well as their family members and healthcare caregivers, can not longer ignore.
